As the waters rose behind Davis Dam, creating Lake Mohave, Bull's Head Rock was gradually covered, with only a small, undistinguishable part of it remaining uncovered. The site for Davis Dam was selected in 1902, but construction did not start until 1942. It was discontinued in December of that year due to the war. Construction resumed in April, 1946, and the dam was completed in 1953.

HISTORY Spanish explorer, Melchlor Diaz, discovered this area in 1540, years before Mayflower landed on the East Coast. And, in 1776, Father Garces crossed the Colorado River here, nearly a month before the Declaration of Independence was signed. The founder of Hardyville (as Bullhead City was once known) was William Harrison Hardy who was one of the earlier settlers in the 1860s. An enterprising and colorful individual, Hardy was the postmaster, county supervisor and a member of the Territorial Legislature. From 1852 to 1909, steamboats made regular trips up the Colorado River from Port Isabel in the Gulf of California. These sternwheeler river boats played an important part in the early development of the areas bordering the Colorado River. At the turn of the century, mining activities pushed away from the Colorado River and Hardyville. When a railroad was constructed from Needles through Yucca to Kingman and farther, Hardyville was abandoned and became a ghost town. Now only a cemetery marks Hardyville's existence. But Hardyville would be resurrected, as Bullhead City, with the coming of Davis Dam. Bullhead City was named for Bull's Head Rock, an old landmark located along the Colorado River. In the years of steamboat travel up the river, it was used as a navigation point. As the waters rose behind Davis Dam, creating Lake Mohave, Bull's Head Rock was gradually covered, with only a small, undistinguishable part of it remaining uncovered. The site for Davis Dam was selected in 1902, but construction did not start until 1942. It was discontinued in December of that year due to the war. Construction resumed in April, 1946, and the dam was completed in 1953. The Katherine Gold Mine just north of Bullhead City was discovered in 1900 and operated intermittently until 1930. The mine and, subsequently, the surrounding area, was named for the sister of one of the discoverers. The burros which were used long ago in the wild west days for mining in Oatman and other nearby areas now roam free and accept handouts. They can usually be found visiting the Historic town of Oatman. (Don't miss the gunfights at noon). Of course, the success of Laughlin, Nevada, helped spur much of the growth in the area. Bullhead City was incorporated on Aug. 28, 1984. Return to Top

HIKING Katherine Mine
John S. Boggs discovered the Katherine Gold Mine in 1900. In 1904 he sold it to the Arizona Pyramid Mining Company. The ore that came out of the mine was respectable in quality but the process of refining it was laborious and costly. The mine was capable of processing 300 tons of ore into 300 ounces of gold in a 24-hour period. During its lifetime, the mine produced $1 million worth of gold. When World War ll was declared, Congress forced the mine to close. Katherine's decaying passages, which once took miners 900 feet below the ground, are now filled with water. These short hikes will help you to get away from the winter crowds at Katherine. Hiking boots and a compass are handy but are not essential. Some parts of these hikes may be a little steep but will not be hazardous if you take your time. When temperatures are over 90°F., drink water before you begin and bring some extra with you. Tell a friend where you are going. Katherine Mine Hike
Hike or drive along the first left past the Katherine Ranger Station as you drive away from Katherine. Park well clear of traffic across the road from the Telephone Cove marker - beware of deep sand. Proceed up the wash to the right of the road through the chalk colored mine trailing. The path becomes increasingly narrow as you approach the old Katherine Mine site. To your right you will notice the ruins of the once productive gold mine. Over $12,000,000 worth of gold was removed from the mine in the span of 40 years. Beware of broken glass, sudden drop-offs and general decay. Grapevine Canyon Hike
To reach Grapevine Canyon by auto, go across the Bullhead City-Laughlin Bridge. Take Nevada Rt. 163 to the west to Mile Marker 13, which is Christmas Tree Pass Rd., turn to your right onto a dirt road. Go about a mile and a half and there is a sign indicating Grapevine Canyon on your right. Turn to the left and go into the parking area. Follow the canyon to your left. You will find Indian petroglyphs on the canyon walls and an interesting desert walk. During the spring months there are often waterfalls as you hike up into the canyon. Be very careful of slippery areas and wear proper shoes if you are hiking into the canyon. It is a breath-taking sight. Fisherman's Hike
Proceed to the Katherine boat launch ramp and follow the road to the left toward the houseboat rental area. Park here if you have a vehicle. Walk around the left side of the houseboat rental building to its backside following the yellow brick wall. Beyond the end of this wall, you will notice a dirt path that skirts a small lagoon. Follow this path through a growth of bushes. Bear to the left as the trail divides. There are several prospects or small caves carved out of the rock where prospectors have searched for valuable ore deposits in this area. Proceed along the trail; it will turn to the south. About 200 feet past the point where you can no longer see the rental building over your shoulder, the trail descends into a gully and appears to end. Due west of the gully, or to your right, the trail can clearly be seen along the side of a small hill, gingerly pick your way around or through the gully to this trail. You will soon have a good view of the harbor from the trail. If you don't see the harbor don't worry, you're not lost, just temporarily disoriented-retrace your steps. A few yards down the hill the trail dissolves into a wide obvious route that follows the lakeshore. Past the impressive sand dune on your right, is Ski Cove. If you walk along the old roadway to the left (used during the construction of Davis Dam) you will come to Davis Cove, appropriately enough. Do you remember the way back? Let this be a lesson! Always keep a lookout over your shoulder while hiking. Lake View Hike
Hike to overflow parking lot B which is adjacent to Katherine's trailer village. Park here if you have a vehicle. Proceed to the left corner of the lot facing away from the main road. Follow the nearby paved road, which runs along the left side of the lot to the midpoint of a gradual curve. Through the row of Eucalyptus trees you will notice some low voltage utility lines, follow them up the sand hill to the northwest. You will be passing between two larger sand dunes. Once over this hill you will notice a large pond. This is the Katherine wastewater treatment lagoon. Some interesting water birds can be seen here at times. Proceed due west along the old sand road to the. left of the lagoon. Follow this path as it winds down the sand dune. Cut across country to the Northwest toward the tall jagged hill in front of you. Spirit Mountain can be seen in the distance just to the left of this hill. You will cross a dirt service road in route, approach the hill by way of the obvious flat wash dotted with Creosote Bush. You will be heading due west. Near the end of the wash climb the small smooth hill to your right. Follow the obvious ridgeline to the northwest - a little rocky in places so watch your step. The ridgeline will take you right to the summit of the jagged profile hill. Congratulations! You can now see north to the basin or wide section of Lake Mohave 12 miles distant. Below you is Telephone Cove. Look back to remember your path before descending. If you wish, follow the smooth slope to your left for a good view of the south lakeshore. Return to Top

The Museum is open daily (certain blackout days apply due to special events). Gold Road Mine
In 1900, a Mexican prospector named Jose Jerez, who was grubstaked by friend Henry Lovin, of Kingman, in the amount of $16, was out searching for his lost burros when he stumbled over a chunk of quartz that glistened brightly in the midday sun. He later discovered it assayed out at 40 ounces of gold to the ton. The mine was purchased for $50,000 months later and then it was in turn sold to investors for $275,000. By the end of 1907, the mine had reportedly milled $2.25 million in gold and has been in productivity on and off every since. The mine has been producing for nearly 100 years and the latest run was for 5 years, ending, at least temporarily, in 1998, when gold prices fell below $300 per ounce. This wonderful Arizona landmark is located on Historic Route 66, just outside of Oatman about 20 miles southwest of Kingman. From the Bullhead Area Chamber of Commerce, take Highway 95 south 13 miles to Boundary Cone Rd. and east 13 miles through Oatman about 2 ½ miles.

SEE THE SITES
Grapevine Canyon
Native American petroglyphs created by indigenous people an estimated 800 to 1000 years ago adorn the walls of this canyon located near Christmas Tree Pass northwest of Bullhead City, inside the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. There is a two-mile gravel road leading to the trail head off Highway 163, about 10 miles west of the Laughlin Bridge. The canyon was named for the grape plants found in the area. A short and somewhat strenuous walk from the parking lot is required to reach the petroglyphs. The markings are fragile and should not be touched. Ranger-guided hikes are offered regularly. For information, call the Katherine Landing Ranger Station at (928) 754-3272 or (928) 754-3030.
Arizona Veterans Memorial
A Colorado Riverfront park in Bullhead City is the setting for the Arizona Veterans Memorial, which contains a line of giant flagpoles and a curving wall standing 9 feet high and 40 feet wide which displays bronze plaques engraved with the names of more than 3,000 service men and women from the state of Arizona who were killed in all the wars and armed conflicts in the last 100 years. On each side of the memorial wall are giant bronze eagles surrounded by 50 stars representing the 50 United States. The Arizona Veterans Memorial Park also contains a pyramid-shaped stone memorial honoring the U.S.S. Arizona, which was destroyed in the attack on Pearl Harbor that marked America's entry into World War II. The memorial park is open year-round and admission is free. To get there, take Highway 95 to Riverview Drive. Travel west (past Rotary Park) until the road ends at Riviera Boulevard, about two miles. Make a left onto Riviera and continue about a half-mile to its end at a large parking lot. Follow the signs to enter the memorial park area.
Oatman
Located in the Black Mountains southeast of Bullhead City on Historic Route 66, Oatman is a Western history buff's dream. See a re-creation of an old Western gunfight and pet a friendly 'wild' burro. The wild burros that roam Oatman streets and sidewalks are descendants of the burros that miners turned loose when the mine closed and they left town. No doubt these animals are one of the biggest attractions of the town. Each morning they come into town looking for breakfast. Burro pellets are for sale at many of the shops and the burros would eat all day if visitors fed them. Before dusk the burros start to wander out of town and back to the hills. Main Street is one of the last remnants of historical US Hwy 66, the first major highway to cross the United States. This road continues over the Black Mountains for a spectacular scenic drive to Kingman (30 miles). Browse in the many curio shops, art galleries and stores, taste the fixin's at one of several eateries or wet your whistle at a saloon. Oatman's roots go back to the late 1800s when gold was discovered in the region; many buildings still exist from that time period, including the Oatman Hotel, built in 1902, and The Glory Hole antique shop, constructed in 1914 as the Oatman Drug Company and Health Club. Nearby Gold Road Mine offers an hour-long walking tour of the labyrinth of tunnels first mined in 1900. Stagecoach rides and off-road tours also are available. The town hosts several events each year including the Annual Bed Races and Gold Camp Days. To reach Oatman from Bullhead City, take Highway 95 south to Boundary Cone Road. Head east on Boundary Cone Road about 14 miles and you're there. For more information call (928) 768-6222. Havasu National Wildlife Refuge

When William Harrison Hardy founded Hardyville in 1864, life in Mohave Valley was difficult and often times dangerous. The need for a cemetery undoubtedly arose soon after founding the town. The Hardyville Cemetery is located one block east of State Highway 95 in the 1700 block of Dorado Drive on a bluff above the Hardyville Mural, which is across from the Safeway Shopping Center. Today, Hardyville Cemetery is registered as a National Historical Landmark and fifteen graves are still distinguishable in the cemetery. Although burial records are difficult to locate, two wooden grave markers, with name information dated 1867 and 1897, have been protected and preserved and are on display in the Colorado River Museum at Davis Camp in Bullhead City.
